Guardian Childcare & Education Coromandel Valley

Located in south-east Adelaide, Guardian Childcare & Education Coromandel Valley is custom-designed to offer an inspiring and stimulating early learning environment for children aged six weeks to six years.

“The Centre is situated in such a beautiful location surrounded by nature. We have such a wonderful space to explore with the children and connect with the local community. When you enter the Centre, it really does have a magical feeling, and we aim to make that the experience of all our children and families,” Centre Manager Diane Forrestor.

Guardian Coromandel Valley opened in August 2020 and features expansive, light-filled environments, including a spacious outdoor area with water play, and pram and car parking areas for convenient drop-off and pick-up. With no other early learning Centres within a 2km radius, Guardian Coromandel Valley is providing a vital service for local families.

The resource-rich Centre – filled with nature-inspired and open-ended materials – encourages children to explore, ignite their curiosity, learn, and most of all, have fun. Our on-site cook prepares five nutritionally balanced meals using seasonal ingredients every day. Children can also enjoy their meals in the dedicated piazza while socialising.

Guardian Coromandel Valley also offers a leading Kindergarten Program that is led by teachers with specialist early childhood university degrees. Our contemporary approach gives your child the full benefits of a daily learning program while you are supported with the longer care hours we provide. That means your child gets the best start to their schooling, while you juggle the day-to-day demands of life.

Begin your adventure at Guardian Coromandel Valley by booking a tour at the Centre and meeting with our wonderful team.

Rhythm of The Day

With endless possibilities, there’s never a dull moment at Guardian and no two days are the same. Here’s what a day at Guardian might look like. Please note, this will vary depending on centre opening hours.

  • Morning

    Handover time with children, families and our friendly Educators. There's a chance for conversation to share what's important for the day/what's happened the night before at home.

  • Morning

    Breakfast time where families are welcome to stay and enjoy breakfast with the children.

  • Morning

    As children are arriving and families are coming and going, there's an opportunity for play as well as family grouping, open-plan play and multi-age grouping.

  • Morning

    As the children come together, planned experiences begin. This is where the Guardian programs and practices come to life. Examples of learning include numeracy, literacy, language, critical thinking, problem solving, leadership, social skills, technology, science, creative arts, curiosity and more.

  • Morning

    There's an opportunity for children to come together and enjoy morning tea.

  • Mid-morning

    Following morning tea, the planned experiences continue. This includes both indoor and outdoor programs.

  • Afternoon

    There's an opportunity for children to come together for lunch. With an open-door policy, families are able to join the centre for meals and excursion if they wish.

  • Afternoon

    For children who want to, or need to, there's an opportunity to sleep, rest or relax. For children who don't need to rest, there are planned experiences, which are more likely to be outdoors.

  • Afternoon

    Children come together for afternoon tea in small groups or with siblings (they can also rest and play together, too). This time also presents an opportunity to reflect on the day.

  • End of the day

    As families arrive to pick up children, there's an opportunity to speak to Educators and share information about the day.

  • End of the day

    Some centres offer early tea or light snack at the end of the day, which they can grab as they leave the centre. We’re mindful of how routines vary at home, so if throughout the day, we notice children look tired, food will be provided.
